If your notebook computer has a wireless network adapter, Vista makes it easier to get connected when you're out and about. If you're in a location with a wireless hotspot, simply go to the Start menu and select Connect to from the right-hand side. Under 'Select a network to connect to' you'll see a list of available wireless networks. Highlight the one you want and click on the Connect button. If the network is potected by encryption, you'll need to enter the pass key in the next window then click connect.
